Knit For Mary is a project which
combines activism, public awareness and a good dose of therapy.
A huge scarf is being knitted and will be draped along the site
of the proposed dam wall. A similar technique was used in old growth
forests in Tasmania with much success. Project organiser Dawn Gill
says that it gives people the chance to physically do something
for the fight, and is a great way to work off frustrations and anger,
and gain a bit of hope.
All contributions are welcome, and if you're local you can pick
up donated wool and needles from the Kandanga Info Centre. Knitting
needs to be 30cms wide, and as long as you like. Enquiries can be
made at the Kandanga Info Centre on (07) 5488 4800.
